THIS SNAKE WOULDN'T TURN.
They Had Him In a Lathe and Were Going
to Vso Hiui For Shafting.
In the fall of 1SS6 I was sent from
an eastern firm to Colorado to superintend
the erection of a sawmill to
replace an old one which was destroyed
by fire. Everything went on
nieelv and the mill was in running
order in about two weeks with tho
exception of a countershaft to run
the planer and matcher, which was
missing. To send to the factory
would take not less than two weeks,
and we came to the conclusion to cut
a piece off the old line shaft and turn
it up ourselves, as we had an old
lathe standing next to the boiler and
engine.
The weather of the last month was
dry and very warm, but at sunset
that day a heavy snowstorm set in,
and the thermometer dropped to zero.
The next morning we sent our engineer
to get one of those old line
snaits, out round tnem covered witn
snow and ice. At last he succeeded
in getting hold of a piece about 8
feet long. It measured about 2 inches
in diameter, somewhat thicker in the
center and tapered at one end. We
needed only 5 feet, so we sent for a
sledge and chisel to cut off the right
length. One stroke and off flew the
thin part. I told the men this kind
of iron would not do, but the engineer
said all iron would break like
this in zero weather; it soon would
be all right if it came into the lathe
next to the boiler. He took the shaft
over to the rise-and centered same,
#??<* from there to the lathe, put the
' steady rest in position and vred to
turn it to the right side, hut ali in
vain. The lathe was located near
the boiler, a warm place, the ice had
melted during the time, and the shaft
got softer and softer, and the tool
would not cut at all.
At t]ris moment the proprietor of
the place stepped in, and seeing his
man running the lathe asked him
what he was going to do. ;'I am
trying to turn a shaft for our planer,
but I never saw a piece of iron like
this. First it was as hard as glass,
but as soon as it got warm it turned
soft and is getting softer all the
time." The proprietor took a step
forward just in time to see the two
pnrls rlrrvn nnt nf tliA hut
held in the middle by the steady rest,
showing several different colors. The
proprietor was an old man and had
for many years lived in Colorado,
fc^and one glance convinced him that
ds engineer had taken a frozen ratMlesnake
for a piece of iron, cut off
^^the tail and put the balance in the
||P^ lathe to turn it off for a countershaft.
The snake was not hanging on the
rest longer than a minute when it
Wr commenced to whirl around to free
itself. Ail the men ran, and the
snake after them, until somebody
killed it with a club. We looked foi
the tail, which by this time had alsc
thawed, and found 15 rattles on it.
The engineer swore he would nevei
look for another piece of iron on a
day like this in Colorado.?Cincin

Ansesthesia From Torture.
An extraordinary thing happened
during Mr. Seney's last illness.
While a friend was with him he was
* smitten with a violent attack of angina
pectoris. It seemed as though
his sufferings were more than the
body could stand and survive. The
paroxysm lasted for more than an
hour. After it had passed he opened
his eyes as one who awakes from a
sound sleep and said to his friends.
"Why, I haygL-heen asleep, haven't

of p-cjjj. and struggle had really

THE VIRGINIA GIRL
Tribute to Her Loveliness by an Appreciative
Virginia Gentleman.
He was a magnificent type of the
real blue blooded Virginian, and
when a member of the little party
with which he was chatting in a corner
asked him, '"What of the Virginia
j^k girl?" a delicious flush of prideful
color warmed his face, and he made a
reply striking and beautiful,
r ''The Virginia girl is now as her
mother and grandmother were before
ber. She is fitted by nature and
.. trained by education to be the wife
of a strong and brave man and a
mother of sturdy boys and virtuous
girls. She is not made up of watery
elements, though her voice is ever
soft, crentle and low. She says
'father and 'mother' in dutiful tones,
and yesternight when, like the Lady
Chris tabel,
"Her gentle limbs did she undress.
And lay down in her loveliness,
she said 'Our Father who art in
heaven' reverently, confidingly and
^ trustfully. A Christian she is, with
yC^no^rrtore doubt of her faith than that
rthe sun shines. Chaste she is, without
knowledge or suspicion of evil.
Simple she is, and ignorant and heedless
of the gridt world, where wealth
and position are the guinea stamp
that makes effulgent hearts as false
and as black as hell, and when she
IT* aaftMMBMWMMMMMMMMM
1 marries, as marry she does, she will
do her husband good, and not evil. I
all the days of her life.
"Slender she is, with the correct
! line of beauty, lithe and graceful, j
' Her hand is not exactly small, for it
! has wielded the rolling pin. Neither '
I is her foot small, but it is an honest |
! foot?a foot light enough and a step
! trim enough to dash the dew from j
i heather flowers; a foot eloquent, not j
| like Cressida's, but eloquent of surety;
; a foot to twirl in any schottische or
i cotillon, to cut the pigeon wing or
tread the mazes of the reel or execute
the shuffle of the Irish jig.
t "Nor has her education been neg;
lected. She was a4" Staunton and
Vassar a year or so, and her father's
library contains some sterling books,
as does nearly every home in old
Virginia. There is a piano, too, and
the Virginia girl is perhaps at her
best when, with voice like a nightingale's
and eyes like a Hebe's, she
sings with the accompaniment the
simple ballads her grandmother
sang."?Chicago Tiibune.

Exquisite Workmanship.
Otto Young & Co. of Chicago have
in their store a watchmaker's bench
which with the lathe and other attachments
is valued at $900. The
bench alone is worth $470. It was
made by Frank Sell, who was until
about 16 months ago engaged in the
jewelry business in Elkhart, Ind.
The top oi the bench., in the center
of which is inserted a glass plate, is
of hard woods, the pieces being accurately
joined. Woods from almost
every part of the world have been
used in the work.
The sides are of mahogany, the
edges being ornamented with rows
of alternate black and white diamond
shaped pieces of wood. On
one end is carved an American eagle
and the maker's name. The other
panel shows a dog of the pointer
breed, reproduced in black and white
wood.
The lathe, chucks and power were
made especially for this bench and
are of the finest material. The bench
is plentifully supplied with drawers
and covers, the edges of which are
ornamented with diamond shaped
blocks of black and white wood.?

"Let me alone," said Kate; "see if j

A Flea For Small Attentions.
If men only knew how much their
wives appreciate the little attentions
that they consider too small to think
about, there would be more of the
courtesies tlmt marKea tne antenuptial
peziod manifested in the every
day routine life that comes after
marriage.
A man, when he has succeeded in
winning a woman, calmly lays aside
all those delightful little ways that,
if he only knew it, did so much to
captivate her, and with the air of a
man who has run after a street car
he settles down and reads his paper
without having an idea that she is
eating her heart out because of the
I a
absence of those trifling attentions
I that mean so much to her.
Listen, all ye men, to a wife who
j knows how much woman's nature is
alike and how happy we all become
over little kindnesses that may not
in your eyes be worth considering,
i but which to us speak of a sentiment
j that has not died out in marriage and
| a polite regard for the wife that is as
j great as that shown the fiancee.?

The Stupid Ostrich.
While the ostrich has absolutely
no brain?see Job for authority?it
has vicious propensities that show
some sort of wicked intelligence.
Some Cape Town people had a fowl
fatting in a special coop near an ostrich
kraal. The bird drooped and
grew thin. It was watched and seen
to peer through the slats of its coop,
curious to watch its neighbors, the
ostriches. Every time it put its head
out it received a kick from its
neighbor and would soon have died
had it not been removed.
A meek looking male ostrich stood
about with its consort looking so dejected
that some visitors remarked
it must be henpecked.
"Oh," laughed their host, "he is
hen kicked," and they soon saw him
receive a staggering blow from his
gentle spouse which sent him with j
drooping feathers into a corner.?
